At least you can watch TV whilst waiting for the AA, assuming the battery is any good !

Don't these have twin batteries? My brother's 850i did, and they kept going flat!

Apparently, the Highline version did http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_E32

I know they have at least four ECUs, as I bought and sold a set once.

Well the seven arrived tonight round about 8 on the back of a trailer.
Give it the once over when she was unloaded.
First impressions good

a few scratchs here and there s few bubbles of rust on edge of wing.
Every mot and bill from new all in a big file,Bmw leather wallet with manuals and service book.
All the keys with full tool kit and torch.
Not so good fire ext missing centre console not leather as told and thought

.
All 5 wheels in very nice condition with new tyres.
Car sounds and runs nice aside from warning lights for brake lineings,bulbs and 1 green light.
The sports interior is very nice and comfy.
I just felt let down with leather console and fire ext i dont know what i was expecting for the money but hey.
That tv/vhs thing would it fetch any money on ebay.
Would i make any money breaking the car ie sports interior.
I dont know what to do with it now its here
